One day af­ter heart tests were per­formed at a pri­vate in­sti­tu­tion on the hus­band of Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar, he ap­peared on a stage at the UNC's Cur­ry Duck, Sports and Fam­i­ly Day at Pow­er­gen grounds, Pe­nal, last night.With his arm around his wife and wav­ing with his oth­er hand, Dr Gre­go­ry Bisses­sar made a brief sur­prise ap­pear­ance on stage. He was not with her when she first ar­rived.An an­giog­ra­phy was per­formed on Bisses­sar at the St Clair Med­ical Cen­tre on Fri­day where doc­tors ad­vised him that there ap­peared to be some block­age in his sys­tem and surgery might be re­quired.Per­sad-Bisses­sar, who gave brief re­marks, re­fused to speak with mem­bers of the me­dia and even caused a po­lice bar­ri­cade to be formed around her as she ducked ques­tions.

From the minute she ar­rived to when she left, Per­sad-Bisses­sar to­tal­ly ig­nored me­dia per­son­nel who were anx­ious­ly wait­ing to ques­tion her about a front-page ar­ti­cle in the Trinidad Ex­press yes­ter­day which stat­ed the cy­ber po­lice had traced threat­en­ing e-mails to that news­pa­per's em­ploy­ees to a com­put­er at the home of her spe­cial ad­vis­er Sasha Mo­hammed. Ap­proached about the Mo­hammed is­sue Works and Trans­port Min­is­ter Jack Warn­er said: "I not in that. When the Prime Min­ster come ask her."Both Hous­ing Min­is­ter Dr Roodal Mooni­lal and Lo­cal Gov­ern­ment Min­is­ter Chan­dresh Shar­ma said they had not read the ar­ti­cle. "I imag­ine if it is a po­lice mat­ter it is a po­lice mat­ter," said Mooni­lal. Shar­ma, how­ev­er, said if it was a le­gal is­sue then the law will al­ways ap­ply.
